This teapot Tuesday challenge was so much fun. Our challenge was to be inspired by an idiom. Last year I worked with a number of people who are not native to Canada and are not familiar with Canadian idioms so I introduced an idiom each week to them. This was reciprocated with them teaching me some idioms from their cultures. Loads of fun!
This card was inspired by the idiom, "the early bird gets the worm", and brought back memories of having family contests of who could sight the first robin of spring.
I've made 2 cards for the challenge this week. Which do you like best?
Enjoy!

I like this one very much, you've made 2 pretty cards but I must admit I like this one just a bit more because I love how you've illustrated this idiom with this sweet bird, thanks for adding both cards today
Such a sweet card! The bird is adorable, and again, you did a wonderful job coloring it. The bird has such a friendly expression, I feel like it's about to chat with the worm, rather than eat it.

Good job picturing your idiom! Personally, I don't think worms are on my diet sheet so I'm happy to let the early bird of spring get that big fat morsel.

You had the perfect image for that idiom. Cute. I am always fascinated to hear expressions that are common in other languages or cultures, so your experience must have been fun.
